Wow, pretty sure everyone here must be excited about what's been going on with the movements on Hive recently! Some heavyweight price action to celebrate hey!
Speaking of heavyweights and celebrations, today's music dnb thriller to share is my remix of and
's superb track called HeavyWeight.
These two have been on a tear with their music productions ever since they released the original and it was an honour to be a part of the early days with this remix. The original can be found below:
The atmosphere these guys create from the off with that rapid and distorted bass, then the added drama in the lyrics from Bonnie and Wav-Dr just compelled me to remix it. I just loved everything about it, including the half time drum beat so had to keep as much as I could with the remix.
I'm usually extremely slow when it comes to making tunes and finishing them off but these two are so inspiring and as I was working on the remix, everything just fell in to place in the space of a couple of days.
The inspiration for the vibe of the remix was actually from a classic garage tune called "A Little Bit of Luck" from DJ Luck and MC Neat back in the day. The strings in the Oracles remix of that track are what I had in my mind with this one and you can hear the chords I used in certain parts of the track as Bonnie sings.
Other than that, I added some piano, a sub bass to roll through under the pulsing sawer synth, the high energy drum pattern and some additional fx.
The rest of the sounds and lyrics are from the original - I hope you enjoy this one!

Lyrics (remix)
Hold me down inside
I'm gonna fly when the dragons fly,
Tape my wings and watch me fight
Scramble your eggs in the moonlight
Hey kids watch me jump,
Out of the building and in to the trunk,
Drive down the back roads,
Nobody else knows
Its quiet in the desert with the lizards and the black crows
I’m feeling like a blind man driving down the road.
Try to see the obstacles while they unfold.
Try to turn a blind eye pushing the threshold.
Better stand up straight and do as you’re told.
Over the mountains, past the sea
Tangled a date with destiny
Covered both my eyes before i could see
And drove off the edge yellin' whoopee
Watch me die inside
I'm gonna fly when the phoenix flies
Burn my wings and watch me rise
Straight from the blood I been baptized
But I’m not seeing straight I can feel a heavy weight.
I’m feeling like a blind man driving down the road.
Try to see the obstacles while they unfold.
But I’m not seeing straight and I'm not feeling great.
Try to turn a blind eye pushing the threshold.
Better stand up straight and do as you’re told.
But I’m not seeing straight I can feel a heavy weight.
Over the mountains, past the sea
Tangled a date with destiny
Covered both my eyes before I could see
And drove off the edge yellin' whoopee
But I’m not seeing straight I can feel a heavy weight
